New vinvanner...and tow bars!

[dmulally]

Hi All,

My name is Damian and thanks to Cobber pointing me in the right direction I am the owner of a 1959 Atlantic. I pick it up this week.

The tow car is a 69 Rover P5b but it doesnt have a tow bar. Does anyone know of a place in Sydney or the Central Coast where I can get one made up? They were an option but I cant find one for love nor money.

Otherwise, is it legal to make your own? I wouldnt thing that it was but if it is, I would just do it myself.

Cheers

Damian

G'day Damian,

Welcome to the forum, I'm pleased you liked the Atlantic..... did you get to have a look in Arthur's garage .

For a tow bar get in touch with this mob or contact “Carasel“ direct, may not be the cheapest way to do it but it probably won't break.

Thanks for the tips guys. I will try them all out and see how far I get.

As for Arthurs garage, I spent more time in there than I did with the van!!! Interesting he uses it as a tow vehicle for the Atlantic too!

Sounds like you are on the Central Coast mate. I got mine all done by Kendys at Erina.

Cheers guys but managed to find a used one for $100 so thats about right.

I went to Hendy's as I saw an old van in the corner thinking it may be a bargain but I almost choked when I saw the price. Didnt look that old either so wouldnt have suited the Rover.

I think the gravitational pull of the expensive new caravans next to it bumped up the price.
